Chapter 18: The Father's Depression (2nd Update)
Probably frightened by Jinxiu's vicious appearance, the puppy obediently ate the fruit that Jinxiu fed it, but soon, the puppy began to convulse and had difficulty breathing.
"Miss..."Jinxiu was frightened, how could this be, this ......
"Hehe, they really can't wait......" The teacup in Zhou Xiya's hand was heavily placed on the table.
"Miss, what are your plans, should you tell the master about this?" Mama Zhou asked. The old woman told her that the eldest lady should make her own decisions about everything, and if the eldest lady did not arrange it well enough, she would just mention it again, and she could not give the eldest lady ideas for everything.
"I can't tell my father about this, I have to solve it myself, if I can't even clean up the Bai family's mother and daughter, what else can I do?" Zhou Xiya sneered.
"Jinxiu, take care of this puppy, I'll be useful tomorrow, don't let it die, it's boring to die." Zhou Xiya smiled, she really wanted to see the ugly faces of Bai and Zhou Xiwan tomorrow, and if she wanted to take revenge, she also wanted to see who she was against.
"Yes" Jinxiu nodded and went out with the puppy.
"Shiqin, come with me to the kitchen to make supper." Zhou Xiya commanded.
"Miss, go do it, what does Miss want to eat?" Shiqin asked hurriedly.
"No need, I'm going to cook for my dad myself, just come and give me a hand, your young lady can not only play with the whip, but also enter the kitchen." Zhou Xiya got up and walked out.
Zhou Xiya made two bowls of chicken soup and mushroom noodles and two side dishes, and walked to her father's study with the waiter.
The guard guarding the door of the "eldest lady" saw Zhou Xiya saluting.
"My dad is still in there?"
"Yes, eldest lady, the master is inside, and the mother of the second lady also came just now, saying that she would send supper to the master, and the person has already entered." The guard replied. I don't know what to call Bai, I can only say the mother of the second lady.
Zhou Xiya frowned, "Go in and report it, and say that I came to deliver supper to my father"
Soon Zhou Xiya was invited in, Zhou Jianxiong's study was very large, the east was where he worked and read, and the west was where he rested, separated by a screen.
At this time, Zhou Jianxiong was sitting behind the desk, holding a book in his hand, Bai was standing in front of the desk, there was a tray on the table, it seemed that Bai was also here to deliver supper.
"Ya'er is here, I'm here to send your father supper, you came just in time, I made a lot, you father and daughter tasted it, I remember that Ya'er was cute when she was a child, and it just so happened that I made rice balls today." The Bai family looked at Zhou Xiya lovingly. But I was resentful in my heart, why did this stinky girl come over, it was really a good opportunity to disturb her, and finally Zhou Jianxiong let her into the study, and she was disturbed by this girl again, which is really hateful.
"People's tastes will change, what I liked to eat when I was a child, I don't like it when I grow up, and the glutinous rice balls are not easy to digest at night, I don't want to make myself uncomfortable for a long time because of eating something unclean, do you say?" Zhou Xiya smiled slightly.
Bai's fists clenched, could it be that Zhou Xiya knew something? She shouldn't have eaten the fruit that the kitchen sent her, she was really cautious, this step was wrong, and let this girl grab the handle again.
"Dad, my daughter made your favorite chicken noodle soup with her own hands, try it quickly, and see if your daughter's craftsmanship has regressed." Zhou Xiya directly moved Bai's tray aside and brought her own food.
"Okay, dad taste, it just so happens that dad is a little hungry, he participates in a dinner party at night, he drinks too much, he doesn't eat much, and he makes his stomach very uncomfortable, but his daughter is still intimate and knows what dad wants to eat." Zhou Jianxiong put down his hand, smelled the chicken noodle soup made by Zhou Xiya, and his face was full of relief, it was good to have a daughter.
"Dad, I can tell you, if you drink so much more, your daughter won't allow you to go to any dinner, why are you so desperate, just drink a moderate amount of wine, drinking too much is not good for your health." Zhou Xiya glared and looked at Zhou Jianxiong fiercely.
"Dad didn't drink much, you also know how much Dad drank, this little wine is nothing." Zhou Jianxiong explained dryly, he is not afraid of anyone, he will always be a cold-blooded soldier king in front of outsiders, but in front of his daughter, he is just a father who listens to his daughter, alas, the status of their family is reversed, his daughter is the biggest, he has to listen to his daughter, and now his daughter is so domineering, he is used to it, which makes his father sluggish.
Zhou Xiya crossed her waist and pursed her mouth, her big eyes were full of grievances, and she glared at Zhou Jianxiong.
"Okay, okay, dad is wrong, you must pay attention in the future, don't look at me like that, obviously you are talking about me, make it as if I am reprimanding you, come and eat noodles, it will be lumpy in a while." Zhou Jianxiong hurriedly changed the topic.
Bai, who was completely ignored, looked at the father and daughter who were talking as if no one was around, her heart was full of hatred, and she left directly with the tray, and if she stayed here, she didn't know what kind of humiliation she would receive.
"Dad, this poached egg is for you to eat, I eat a lot at night, and I'm not hungry." The corners of Zhou Xiya's mouth curled slightly, obviously in a good mood.
"Did you go out to dinner with your second brother and them in the evening?" Zhou Jianxiong shook his head helplessly, this girl, with everything on her face, the hatred in her eyes that she couldn't hide for the Bai family, although he didn't know why, but what his daughter was willing to do, he supported it unconditionally, if his daughter wanted her to know, she would naturally tell him.
"Well, the second brother took me to meet my uncle's brothers, as well as the second brother and their cousins, let's get acquainted with it." Zhou Xiya nodded.
"It's good to get to know each other, now in the capital, there are only three boys from your uncle's family, and the others are all **, and when the New Year comes, my father will take you to meet the people in the family. During this time, you also go out to make friends and get acquainted with the situation in the capital. Zhou Jianxiong reached out and touched his daughter's head and smiled.
"Okay," Zhou Xiya nodded obediently.
"The day after tomorrow, you prepare, and I will take you to your mother's grave to worship." My daughter has grown up, and she is so good, Rou'er will be very relieved to see it.
The chopsticks in Zhou Xiya's hand were stunned, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she was busy eating noodles to hide her emotions.
The next day, Zhou Jianxiong, who was sent away on a mission to the Yamen, Zhou Xiya walked to his courtyard, and Bai and Zhou Xiwan followed behind and walked back together.
At this time, a little maid ran to Zhou Xiwan's side and reported: "Second Miss, I've searched everywhere, but I still haven't found a little bit." ”
"Useless things, not a single dog can be found, have you searched all over the house?" Zhou Xiwan glared at the maid angrily. Her beloved puppy can't be found, it's these useless things, and even a dog can't take care of it.
"We searched for everything in the house, but we didn't look for Qingyi Garden, we went, but the housekeeper there didn't let us in." The maid cringed and said, the eldest lady's housekeeper is really powerful, if she didn't run fast, she might have been beaten.
"It's really useless, what can you do with it?" Zhou Xiwan pinched the maid's arm hard.
